Dressing the Man: Mastering the Art of Permanent Fashion

Dressing the Man is Alan Flusser’s guide to permanent men’s fashion and classic personal style. This digital PDF download presents practical guidance on clothing, proportion, color, and coordination. Instant download access is available after purchase.

Rather than focusing on changing seasonal trends, Flusser explains how men can develop a lasting approach to dressing. The book uses physical characteristics such as face shape, shoulder width, neck height, arm length, torso structure, and foot size as part of its approach.

Book Overview

In this men’s fashion reference, Alan Flusser examines the foundations of well-coordinated dress. He identifies proportion and color as central principles, then applies them across major clothing classifications and occasions.

Why This Book Matters

The book also places its subject within a broader history of male dress, referring to figures such as Cary Grant, the Duke of Windsor, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Beau Brummell, Tyrone Power, and Fred Astaire.
